Team Patterns
Twelve ways teams tend to work together.
After the Momentum Scan, the Quest shows your team the pattern its seven conditions form today, based on everyone’s anonymous answers about how close your work feels to your team’s ideal. A pattern is a mirror, not a verdict: something to recognize and talk about. Your team still decides what’s worth working on.
The Momentum Team
The team that's found its rhythm.
Where it shines. All seven conditions are in a good place: work feels clear, sustainable and connected.
What can quietly get in the way. When things run smoothly, it's easy to stop noticing what makes them work, until something changes.
Shows up when: All seven conditions are in a good place.
The All-In Team
The team that shows up.
Where it shines. People feel connected and valued, and they show up for each other when things get hard.
What can quietly get in the way. Strong commitment can make it easy to keep pushing, even when the pace is becoming hard to sustain.
Shows up when: Balance is among the two lowest, while Openness, Recognition or Connection is near the top.
The Precision Team
The team that runs on clarity.
Where it shines. Priorities, roles, and plans are clear, so work moves with confidence.
What can quietly get in the way. Clear plans can make it harder to question them out loud when something no longer fits.
Shows up when: Organization is the strongest condition, and Openness is among the lowest.
The Collaborative Team
The team that lifts each other.
Where it shines. People feel valued for what they bring, and they help each other readily.
What can quietly get in the way. Warmth can sometimes cover for unclear decisions or ownership.
Shows up when: Recognition is the strongest, and Organization is among the lowest.
The Mission Team
The team you can count on.
Where it shines. People can count on each other to follow through, so work moves with confidence.
What can quietly get in the way. When the work is moving, how people are doing along the way can get less attention.
Shows up when: Trust is the strongest, and Connection is among the lowest.
The Flexible Team
The team that bends without breaking.
Where it shines. The pace feels sustainable, and the team absorbs change without wearing itself out.
What can quietly get in the way. Constant adapting can quietly turn into constant readjusting.
Shows up when: Balance is the strongest, and Organization is among the lowest.
The Open Book Team
The team that says what it means.
Where it shines. People speak honestly and feel safe raising what they see.
What can quietly get in the way. Honest conversations don't always lead to action.
Shows up when: Openness is the strongest, and Trust is among the lowest.
The Fair Play Team
The team that shares the load.
Where it shines. Responsibilities and effort feel fairly shared, and people pull together.
What can quietly get in the way. When everyone carries their part, individual contributions can go unnoticed.
Shows up when: Fairness is the strongest, and Recognition is among the lowest.
The Culture Team
The team that feels like home.
Where it shines. People feel they belong, and the team is a good place to be.
What can quietly get in the way. A close team can sometimes steer around conversations that feel uncomfortable.
Shows up when: Connection is the strongest, and Openness is among the lowest.
The Independent Team
The team of capable individuals.
Where it shines. People take ownership and move work forward without waiting to be asked.
What can quietly get in the way. What one person knows or does can stay with them instead of reaching the team.
Shows up when: Trust and Organization are both near the top, while Recognition or Connection is among the lowest.
The Renewal Team
The team with the most room to grow.
Where it shines. With room to grow in several places, one small change can make a visible difference.
What can quietly get in the way. When several things feel difficult, it can seem like everything needs fixing at once.
Shows up when: Every condition is still building.
The Emerging Team
The team that's still writing its story.
Where it shines. There's room to build shared habits that make working together easier.
What can quietly get in the way. Without a few shared habits, each person may end up working their own way.
Shows up when: No single shape stands out yet.
